I think Daniel is the goat
I also think that Daniel Negreanu is one of the best. His achievements really impress me. He's obviously one of the best, and he seems to be a pretty good person, positive and friendly.

Phil Ivey is often regarded as one of the best all-around poker players in history.

It's basically the guy who won the most money long-term and it's definitely and 100% not Daniel Negreanu.

There are actually a lot of good poker players, like Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu, who are great players.

Its really a good question because you cannot say "the one with the biggest bankroll". Why? Cause imagine some rich donkey plays first time and wins a big tournament with 10million. So in my opinion i would say, the ones who make profit in poker with never ever using their own money are the kings. And here also i am not talking about donated money but "earned money" only from poker.

Its not Daniel Negreanu. Great player in his day, still good but far from the best.

Surely it has to be Linus Love, the best online cash game player of all time.

It's a hard question, but for me Phil Ivey is the best player, followed closely by Negreanu.

Arguably, the best are the ones who have played and survived long term. It is also difficult to compare across generations, same as the argument as to who was the basketball player of all time...Jordan? Kobe? LeBron? or who was the best hockey player of all time...Howe? Orr? Gretzky? Lemieux? I'll take a stab and say Doyle Brunson...Jordan and Bobby Orr also the GOAT in their sport. I watched Orr as a 14 year old playing junior hockey against 18 year olds and out perform them. Doyle won the wsop Main Event twice...coin flip .

There are many poker references worldwide and it is difficult to decide who would be the best, each one has their own strategy and game. But I think Phil Hellmuth's 17 bracelets speak for themselves.

Do you mean the one who claims he is the best (Phil Helmuth) or anyone else?

If it is out of favouritism the best is Adrian Mateo and Nacho Barbero... although we will never know who is the best, because there is always one better than the other
